Registrar’s update

By - , Build 169

Another year has flown by, and i hope it has been a successful one for you all. Be sure to take some time to have a well deserved break in the holiday period to come.

OUR FIRST article in this Build is around using built-up members in place of solid timber (see pages 26–27). This is becoming more and more common with fabricated products, but it pays to know what can be done on site too. This article provides you with some basic guidance on the subject. You’ll find more detailed information in NZS 3604:2011 Timber-framed buildings.

The second article builds on our quantity surveying and construction article in the last Build. We focus on the design process and point out some of the benefits of having good quantity surveying input up front.

Thanks for reading – you’ll hear from us again in the new year.
